Before telling how you can enter to win this prize package, however, let me tell you a few things about the Mitsubishi i that might surprise you….

If you’re not familiar with the Mitsubishi i (or i-MiEV), it’s a new electric vehicle (EV) with a tremendous MPGe rating and a surprisingly affordable price tag. Here are some of its key details and awards:

112 combined MPGe!

EPA’s fuel economy leader / most efficient car in production

100% electric

‘The Greenest Vehicle of 2012′, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy

net MSRP* after the federal tax credit = $21,625 for the standard ES model (note that state and city EV tax credits may also be available to you, and note that you’d save some serious cash in operation costs driving this vehicle compared to a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle)

The giveaway will close at 11:59pm on June 13, and I will randomly pick and announce the winner on June 14.

*Includes federal tax credit of up to $7500. Retail MSRP of ES starts $29,125 and SE starts at $31,125

Full disclosure: Planetsave gets nothing from this post/giveaway other than the opportunity to have one of our readers win the prize package above, and the opportunity to promote perhaps the greenest car on the road.

I love the idea of electric vehicles. I have heard they have 100$ torgue at all speeds and they can really excelerate. Friends who have driven one say they are amazing in the way they handle. If you love the feel of driving, you will love the way an electric vehicle compares to a dirty energy car that is sloppy.

There is a lot to love about this car! The savings over time would have to be my favorite, but I like that it is 4 day and still pretty spacious at times (so a good option for parents with kids in tow.)

What’s not to like with 112 combined MPGe and being the EPA’s fuel economy leader and most efficient car in production that is 100% electric you can see why it was chosen as ‘The Greenest Vehicle of 2012′, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. The cost is reasonable, and I would consider buying one. I want a solar charging station in my driveway as well.

I love that it relies solely on electric energy. So much better for the environment. I am currently in the market for a car and will definitely be checking this one out!

How do I share this to facebook or anywhere else without the widgets to do so?

we had a very short-term issue with our sharing plugins, but they are back now. if they were gone though, all you would have to do is copy the url and paste it into a status update on your facebook page. Or do the same on Twitter or Google+.

right after my first reply, our plugins were put back on, so i edited that first reply to reflect that (just in case you saw the first comment first).

I like the size of it. It would be easy to load and unload groceries and such. Good price and economical to run. It looks like it would be fun to drive!

There is nothing I like more than to see companies helping to save the planet. I’m big into cutting back, conserving and recycling. Americans are so spoiled with big vehicles and using as much gas as they want without ever thinking of the consequences. We have the “do it and think about it later” attitude, as long as I’m happy. It’s that attitude and lifestyle that has gotten us into the mess we are in.

Looks very economic and would love to have to drive to work! Nice design!!!

Well Green is very important to conserve the inviroment. The i-MIEV is just the thing to lower the Carbon footprint and save on fuel and other resources. Thanks Mitsubishi for all the hard work done to bring this great car to market!

I can’t believe how small the car is but its eco friendly. I love it!!

THe fuel efficiency would be the most cool feature for us! My husband commutes to a military base out of town each day and we are looking to find ways to save money on gas. I also shared via Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter! Thanks!

Kyra Gorski

Fuel saving and a very fun, unique design…..
